The world was devastated when iconic Mattel couple Barbie
and Ken announced their separation in 2004 after 43 seemingly happy years
together. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, however, Ken has wooed his
ladylove—aww!

Barbie broke the news on her Facebook page today: “Yes it’s
true... after seven long years apart, Ken and I have decided to rekindle our
romance. A doll know when it’s love and I’ve finally realized that my heart
only beats for Ken.”

While we’re thrilled that our fave plastic duo has seen the
light, we have to hand it to Barbie and Ken doll manufacturer Mattel. Over the
last month or two, they’ve staged this reunion of the perfect pair with hopes
that it would renew interest in the best-selling line of dolls. Here’s
hopin’—we just can’t imagine a world without Malibu Barbie and her Dream House.

You can follow the epic romance on barbieandken.com. Be sure to check

dolls.

you think the pair are truly meant to be?
